looks good, the seats have come up looking real good. I like the colour of the stock wheels against the car!

Thanks for support, pal!!!I have trouble with glow function - I've got no principal electrical scheme for Florian - I can not understanad how it must work - automatic or manual. On the dashboard there are two indicators - yellow round together with oil and chg. Second yellow (with ieroglyphs) lits, when key is in Sta position. Do you know how it may function in proper way? One more info - there is additional switch (one switch position only automatically returns back, when released), near ignition lock, which also acts glow system somehow.

perhaps try one of the chev luv forums, maybe a diesel luv would be similar?

Okay, thanks!

Could it be so, that the glow function is fully manual, not automatic in C190 engine? So you must turn key to "on" than tear up glow lever and hold it for a while... How it was in original car? May be someone have got manuals?

not sure how it worked origionally, here in Australia we only got the petrol models. another one to check is bellett.net there are alot of isuzu owners there from around the world, might be able to help you there.

Good news - since yesterday Florian starts from the key - relay issue was sold!

One more issue - glow plugs After connecting plugs on c223 engine with c190 original heating wiring remained on Florian's original glow plugs were destroyed right after first glow.Pugs were 5VNew 5v plugs (10 USD each)After a short period these plugs also meltedWe reviewed glow plugs from original engine and amzed - it where 10,5V!!!!New ones will be 10,5 V soon!Front fenders inside were coated with special anticorrosive paintUntidy weatherstripesTidySide markers demontagedUnder fender dust proof installedDisassebled both bumpersLic. plates and found under it Japanese number holdersFender mirror details paintedA/C radiator readyA/C radiator installed with horns

New 11V glow plugs set purchased for 40 USD price and should be installed recently! 11Vplugs are very rare...

Water separator from diesel fuel and front fenders installed yesterday. Also mounting for power steering pump detached from engine, diesel fuel filter from c190 will be there soonHere are some photo

Update! New plugs were installed and its performance checked - its all OK now! Sure start since the first turn of starter, despite its near 0 C outside and cold engine. Plugs glow manually by lever hold up for a while (15 secs) when ignition key is ON, then release lever and turn key to Start - and it starts!!!
